On Thursday, Rivera and the Yankees attached some fairly large numbers to that promise. New York and the all-time saves leader agreed to a one-year contract reportedly worth $10 million plus awards incentives, according to CBS Sports.

The Yankees have not officially announced the signing, but a Major League source confirmed the agreement.

Wow, I've read a lot of stupid crap on this site, but this takes the cake. How many of you guys actually played real baseball?
Catcher is the field general and the hardest position to learn. No great catcher comes up with one year of minor league ball. He'd get eaten alive. You think veteran pitchers are going to put up with a kid who can't frame pitches, doesn't know what to call, doesn't know the hitters, can't block pitches in the dirt, and the myriad things a catcher does to get a strike call?
Did any of you guys notice how much better our pitching staff did when Martin replaced Posada?
This was an idiotic move by Cashman. Martin was a bargain at two years. Unless Cash's got a killer right fielder and catcher up his sleeve this team will not make the playoffs.
But I'll agree with one poster on here.
Hal is going to sell this team in two years.
Just watch.

Mets fans ssy Josh Thole sometimes looked like a deer caught in headlights last season. The position requires another level of presence, maturity and confidence.

“The Wilpons and Mr. Saul Katz — the people who say they don’t care about the team are sorely misguided,” Ojeda told the newspaper. “These are the biggest Mets fans you will meet."
